• OG XBox Trace Fix [ep....
This is part 2 of a multi-part series for an XBox fix and softmod.
If your Xbox
1. Automactially turns on when plugged in.
2. Power button does not respond.
3. Eject button does not respond.
4. Power and eject buttons does not respond.
Then your Xbox probably has trace damage.

@@The_SegaHolic This is a video. I don't work in front of my computer. I was looking for a tutorial to print and to refer to while soldering. I found one, I did the same thing, I got the power button working again but not the eject button. And now the power LED is flashing green/red. I don't know what's wrong.
@@Sejakun Go to the "OG XBox" Reddit section, and ask "JRocky5" whatever question you have. He is an XBox guru that can help you with your issue. The flashing Red/Green lights is a code for specific issues.
@@The_SegaHolic Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
Dude.... you are a FREAKING genius!!! Thank you so much!!!! I would have NEVER guessed to look at those tiny traces. Found two very small gaps the size of a grain of sand. Ran a jumper to the one you labeled “E” and it works like a charm!!! The thing was powering off by itself, shutting down and beeping, auto turning on... this fixed all of it!!!! Thank YOU!!!!
You’re welcome. This is a VERY COMMON issue and a pretty easy fix as u now know. Glad u made use of the video and got your XBox working.
So glad I found this video. Lucky for me it was only the very bottom trace (E). I went directly from the resistor connected to the start of the trace, to the final pad that you show. It worked! :)
Your video was great, repairing an old Xbox that was having power and eject button issues and found the problem immediately after watching your video. I removed the clock capacitor and cleaned what corrosion I could find, but didn't see the small damage it did to the K and P traces.
Thank you for the help. That Xbox is back to full working order now.
Glad it helped
Your videos are slick! You deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! You're not the first to comment that same sentiment. LOL. Hopefully, my monetizing some videos will cause some uptick... and it's the reason why I'm not using any copyrighted material anymore. :( I ca't put on Virtua Fighter music! LOL. Anyways, means a lot coming from a great repair UA-camr!
The Sega Holic I’ve never really understood if we’re allowed to use game footage and music in our videos. I know traditional music from artists will be copyrighted, but what about playing 5seconds of a 1985 game footage/music? Channels like MLIG do it all the time so I’m guessing it’s ok.
You can use game footage and it's music, but some companies file copyright claims with UA-cam. UA-cam will auto-detect the music, and automatically flag the video for "Copyrighted Content" making the video NON-MONETIZABLE. You just can't make money from it, although you can keep the video up.
For instance, this video:
ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=1qKq_ivdilI and between 21:48 - 23:16 for the video, I'm playing Contra for NES, whose music Konami has copyrighted and has claims with UA-cam. UA-cam auto detected the Konami/Contra music and UA-cam even links a timestamp of the infringing music, along with who the copyright owners are. I think gameplay video is fine, as long as the music aint playing... even 8-Bit music apparently.
FUNNY THING IS, SEGA HAS MADE NO CLAIMS WITH UA-cam, but I want to stay clean for the future-proofing in case Sega does make claims later.
Basically, if you don't own the music or the logos or art, the owners can make claims according to UA-cam.
I'm keeping my future videos clean so I can make the very little money, and hopefully at least pay for a PO Box so I an receive stuff for possibly FREE REPAIRS for viewers.
@@Gangst3r_PL 🤷♂
I had a stuck power issue, used this guide to fix, thank you very much. The motherboard was a version 1.0 the traces were very similar. Only 1 trace was broken although I couldn't find it, I connected all the points anyway as a safe measure. Again thanks!!
Glad it’s now working👍 Thank you for watching.
Very nice, I'm glad you're uploading videos more often
I'm kinda figuring out the UA-cam thing. LOL. Keep viewers engaged with more timely uploads.
The thing is, my editing style makes these uploads.... very difficult... and it's not my style to make an uncut vid...
Maybe I'll shock the viewers and upload a completely uncut one.
Anyways... thanks for watching and commenting. The next vids coming soon.
Much thanks for this video which explains the issue and fix very well. had the same issue on my 18 year old Xbox and last night we fixed the problem. We had the two outher lines that had the corrosion issue. We managed to resolve this by your video. many thanks, power en eject button working again :)
Yeah, I think I have 3 separate videos detailing this. LOL. Glad you got your XBoxes fixed. 👍
This is GREAT!!! Thanks a ton!!! Bought an Xbox off eBay that said the power button didn’t work, and this did the trick!!!
Glad I could help
Yoooooo! Thank you so much for this. My old xbox has been having this problem for years. I'm gonna try this and hopefully it'll go back to normal.
I have other videos on this, so you can watch all, and you'll have a complete understanding.
Here, this may be a better video:

@@The_SegaHolic YOURE MY SAVIOR! I gave up on my xbox years ago and put it away for 10 years. After all this time its finally repaired! Thank you so much.
@@TheSoapyJew You got it repaired? Awesome! Glad u made use of the video.
@@The_SegaHolic Yeah, those points were insanely small and I'm only a novice. But somehow i managed to do it. Fantastic video. Its working so well now.
Cheers! Been picking up old xboxes to fix and re-sell, got a problem with 2 of the xboxes. Might be able to fix them now!
Awesome man. 👍
Can't wait for the next one!
Coming real soon!
Mine powers up when plugged in and the power button doesn't work but the eject button does. I have zero soldering skills. I would be terrified of screwing it up. I guess I should check though. The last time I opened it was to remove the clock capacitor but I saw no signs then. It looked okay. It's also started to give Error 7 messages.
Soldering skills are more having good equipment and just knowing how. It's quick to learn if you know the proper techniques, what to do and what not to do. Practice on some junk electronics.
Thanks for making this I've been looking for a tutorial like this to fix my original Xbox
Glad you can find this useful.
awesome repair as always
Very good tip! Thanks for narrowing it down, saved me a lot of time!!
You’re welcome man 👍
Thank you for sharing this video! I just repaired my green limited edition Xbox. ❤️
Glad this helped you out! More XBox vids to come down the pipeline! Be on the lookout for it.
Hopefully someone is still watching this post and can give me a pointer as to wheat to check. XBOX Original was working fine NO problems. I packed things up moved and it was not used for about a year. Got it out, set it up, plugged in in. pressed the Power button... NOTHING.. Checked it out by opening it, Could not see or find anything wrong inside, ALL looked good, NO LIGHTS at all come on when pressing the button again.. I CAN HEAR the Disk spin when I hold the Power button or disk eject button but NO LIGHTS come on and it does not start, Any ideas as to what my be the problem? The disk spins as long as I hold the Power or eject button bt stops as soon as I release either of them. IT is not making excess noise and actually can barely be heard unless you put your ear really close to it.
I really miss my saved games after years of playing with them. I am not getting and ring lights at all.. nothing there..
The buttons was just like yours, but when i had to open the disc drive, i just had to hit it on the front and then it would open
Worked for me! Only had to do 1 cable. Thanks!!
no probs man
My power button was dead, and xbox shut off each 5 min. Trace E there was No connection testet with multimeter. The 3 other traces where fine. So i soldered a wire between the 2 points.and now problem is fixed 😊
Right on! Easy right?
@@The_SegaHolic well i had some issues connecting the wire, but thats because it was 0,75mm wire i had. Im sure 0,25mm Will be better. But other than that, easy yes 😊
How were you able to solder those microscopic wires? What kind of solderin iron did you use?
mine has got the same issue, luckly, the corrosion on in wasn't too bad,all i had to do was cleaning the whole mobo and the problem was gone...and mine is even a 1.1 i believe, so i was supposed to remove the capacitor anyway,due the age of my xbox lol
What's funny is that the damage can vary wildly. Some leaks, and it seems as though the electrolitic fluid doesn't really do any damage, and then there is the one from ep.67, where it eats up and corrodes solder. Remove the capacitor and clean the fluid that leaked. The fluid that's not cleaned up can do more damage later.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@The_SegaHolic can I use anything else to clean the motherboard or is that special pen the only option?
@@SuperNitroZ64 It's a fiberglass pen and readily available on Amazon. But try a polymer eraser first. Not those regular erasers, but the soft ones that don't damage paper. Rub hard. If you still have trouble having the solder "stick," you will then need to use the fiberglass pen, or those pink "sandpaper" erasers.
@@The_SegaHolic okay. And what else do I require?
@@SuperNitroZ64 Wire (26, 28, or 30 AWG), soldering iron, solder, flux.
Awesome fix, my man! Thanks!
Would anyone know what causes an Xbox DVD automatically ejecting..?
I would try the trace fix..
Aloha my brother nice video. 👍🏼👍🏼
thanks man. appreciate it!
Exactly what I needed :D gonna fix my friends xbox.
I made 3 videos covering this. Make sure to watch the others as I may have included ideas that are not here.
@@The_SegaHolic ow cool. I will. I needed 2 wires for the fix. Gave it back already. But I got other boards that might need help similar and if something is wrong, he'll come back.
Had to swap the 3300uF caps near the CPU as well.
@@CodeAsm Yeah, so common to see those caps bulging.
Exactly what are the steps?
the xbox im working on was working fine a week ago but when i went it turn it on today no power at all. since i have a couple of xboxs i switched out the internal power supply but no luck. all the traces and capacitors look fine its a version 1.6 xbox with a mod chip.
did you try doing continuity checks for the traces for their integrity instead of just looking?
@@The_SegaHolic the motherboard is flawless looking there is no way its the traces. im working on multiple xboxs i have 6 more xboxs to repair. 3 of them have bad capacitors so ill be buying a in circuit capacitor tester. instead of testing the traces ill test the capacitors first as that is the most likely scenario for this specific xbox. its probably the newest and cleanest looking motherboard you have ever seen. what happened was its showed up with a mod chip pre-installed but the disc drive would not open so i replaced the samsung drive with a phillips one and tested everything and it worked. i then left it plugged in on my desk for a week then i tried to turn it on and nothing not even a tiny bit of fan spin or led light up with both power buttons.
Thank you bro, Xbox fixed
Right on!!!
Got the very same issue.... The Xbox is not responding with the on/off button, and indeed: the traces are quite corroded too.
Shame: this console is clean, and not often used, stored in a dry place, so this is in fact a factory issue.
... and a very common issue! I've seen this in 5 XBoxes that I have opened. And I have opened only about 12 XBoxes.
What type of wire? 30 gauge what??
kynar
I got an xbox recently that has all these same issues and also when I play games there are wavy lines making it practically unplayable, would fixing the trace rot solve the wavy lines and video signal ?
no, not a video related fix.
@@The_SegaHolic Do you think replacing all of the capacitors would solve the wavy lines and video issue?
@@VintageGameZ Replacing the caps related to the video output probably will.
Will a broken trace cause it to random turn off in play as well as issue of not saying off unless it unplugged my will not say off and ejeck won't work till you hit off botton and will not say off and once you get disc in it will turn it on and off after hour or two of play
These videos are super helpful thank you dude. Just wondering but do you happen to know what to do if you have a XBOX that is flashing orange and red?
That, you would have to ask the XBox "super surgeons" on the XBox Reddit forums.
www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/
If you get ignored, LMK, and I can probably escalate it.
Thanks for supporting the channel. Truly means a lot!
I can’t believe it, I’m having the EXACT same problem.
Sorry to necro but does the board revision matter or is it the same for them all.
same for all.
What state you in? You do repairs as a service?? 💰
HAWAII. 🌴🌊 No. I used to. Sorry, too many unknowns can happen.
What type of wire was used?
Kynar 26 or 30 AWG. Kynar is solid core, but you can use stranded types. 24 AWG is probably the thinnest wire I would recommend.
What are the tools I need again?
Soldering iron, flux, 26-30awg wrapping wire, Digital Multi-Meter (DMM).
@@The_SegaHolic okay. According to the TheIsoZone link, there are even more tools and materials I need for the fixing process.
@@SuperNitroZ64 Various torx drivers.
@@The_SegaHolic what do you mean by flux? Flux pen, soldering flux, or flux paste? I'm confused.
@@SuperNitroZ64 I would use flux liquid or paste. Soldering Flux.
Can you tell me the used wire specs?
Does anyone know someone who can fix an original Xbox that won't turn on? I can find tons of tutorials online to fix the likely issue, but I don't have any experience or tools like a soldering iron. I've looked local and online and so far no luck.
I'll fix it for free. Did you watch my most recent video? Check it out.
Yea same here the only thing I’m good at is taking it apart 🥺. I keep watching videos only to get lost .
Diancarlo Chin what u getting lost on?
Parabéns... Estou com um xbox classic (v1.0) com o mesmo problema... agora esta normal apos fazer os reparos deste tutorial... obrigado por compartilhar...
Não é problema homem. Feliz por ter seu Xbox consertado e funcionando para você aproveitar novamente.
Yeah good solution. I found a fix by myself before find this video. The reason is super capacitor 1uF 2.5V leak - sorry if I repeat if you told that in video.
No, it's actually not from any leak from caps. Inconsistent rot, that is only happeening along that particular place on the board.I think it's the cleaning agents they used for the boards. I duuno, but it's definitely not from cap juice.
My xbox has been sitting around for a very long time. Just changed the capicitors so xbox will power up. Manage to sort that problem out! Now my eject button does not work at all. Could i do this method for the eject button also? Thanks. Btw awesome vid :)
It should. Use your dmm to check between the points i show in the vid and you’ll know for sure.
@@The_SegaHolic thanks for the response. Will definetly check using a multi meter. Thanks for the advice. Subscribed 👍🏽
Shaz95 Much thanks dude. Don’t hesitate to ask any more questions.
I am finding it very hard to find any damaged traces. I have had no leaks from any caps on the motherboard. No idea what the problem could be to why the eject button is not working. I have 1.6 version btw. Any help? Thanks
@@shaz9530 Did you do continuity tests, or are you looking by eye. Sometimes, it's very hard to see, or may not even be discernable by eye.
@segaholics can I pay you to repair my original Xbox power button issue?
A bit late.... but if i only got the power button not working i only do the Power button line ?
The eject button work great and like normal ( he dont shut off the xbox)
do a continuity test to see which trace is broken. If you don't have a DMM, then just do all the traces.
What kind of tape is that you're using to hold down the wires?
Kapton tape. This tape is specially made for electronics. None Static producing and high heat resistance. Look up "kapton tape" on Amazon.
@@The_SegaHolic thanks for the reply! Yeah, I actually figured it out. And it's already on its way from Amazon lol.
Sweet! =D
How's the Xbox's in the UK? Do you see this? I've seen this in 3 other XBoxs I've got.
AWESOME ! Thanks a lot ! -subscribed.
Glad you can make use of the content. Thanks for the sub and hope to see you comment in future vids.
Thank you so Much. I Fixed my Xbox.
No problem man, glad this helped. So much XBoxes have this problem.
I am wondering if the points are more or less the same on all mb versions of the Xbox or if some versions are more prone to trace issues
or if its more about who spilled some soda on the xbox 15 years ago.
This issue is a LOT more prevalent than someone spilling soda. I think it’s cleaning agents at the factory that pools in that area as they were probably stood up for it to dry.
I need to fix my XBox, it has the exact same issue as yours in the video. Turns on automatically and power button isn't responsive. However, the ISO zone URL is no longer good. DO you have access to a DIY somewhere else?
This video details how to do the fix. Did you watch the video?
I should of watch this video before ordering a power bored on eBay
Thank man is work fine make my xbox great again
I have the Asian prototype sadly I had to open it up as something wasn’t working right
What's happening with the console?
The Sega Holic the case was rust ing really bad to the point I felt it needed to be cleaned up an then the fact it had bugs inside of it lol from the old owner so yeah haha
Tx a lot bro, i fixed mine exectly like u showed. Flawless :) then i spanked it up with a tsop :D Excellent tuto
David Courteil Awesome you got it fixed. Glad this helped you out.
I've check the traces but there intact. i just twisted off the clock cap beacuse my xbox has the same issue. but it did not leak a lot, the cap looked great but there was lil bit of acid there. Are there any other things that can cause these issues. Is it okay to use cleaning alcohol to get rid of the corrosion. there is a little bit on the smaller cap below the clock cap at one oth the two contact points. Everything else is were its supossed to be. Its a 1.2-1.5
Fixed it with swapping front plates with a spare part xbox. (so startbutton swapped)
Mine is 1.6 still eject the tray whenever plugin.
The XBox has 4 different types of DVD Drive, but usually, the Samsung DVD Drive is the one that has all the issues.
Mine is Philips.
Does this fix also apply to a non-modded F.R.A.G issue?
No. Those are more serious issues. Have you asked the XBox community on Reddit? If not, seek out JRocky5 and PM him.

Where can I find deals like this! My local goodwill only has clothes lol
The pricer at my local Savers is generous. 😁 You have to be lucky sometimes as you have to beat out the other pickers. I've never found video games at Goodwill. If you have a Savers nearby, I'd go there.
I found a listing on craigslist for 2 both with stuck disc drives for $20 I thought thats a good deal I can fix them up then boom I have 4 xboxs one step closer to my LAN party dream room
@@v3ck1n Give it a shot. LMK if you get help fixing them.
Great fix🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I dont wanna damage it so :(
at least it was £5
